Carolyn Tanner IrishChair of the Board

Carolyn Tanner IrishChair of the Board

It's through her example that Carolyn leads and carries on the legacy of her father, Obert C. Tanner. Like
him, she believes in honest and transparent business practices, supporting employees and giving generously
to charitable organizations and communities. When she's not looking after 1400+ employees, Carolyn is
supporting foundations like the YWCA of Salt Lake City. She also served the Salt Lake community as the
bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Utah from 1996 to 2010.

Dave PetersenPresident & CEO

Dave PetersenPresident & CEO

Dave arrived at O.C. Tanner offering his services without a job interview or offer. If the company wasn't pleased after a month's work (without pay), he'd pack his things. Lucky for us, 30 years later he's
proven his determination, dedication and capabilities time and time again, in literally every department of the company. Coupled with a bachelor's degree in international business from Brigham Young University an MBA from Thunderbird American Graduate School of International Management, make him a globally-minded leader for our global company.
